Is there a way to "bend" fibreglass?

[mardak at cogeco.ca (Mark)]

This is the guy that sold me the "S" airdams...  Be VERY careful.  If the
airdams are indicitive of the quality of this kit it will require MAJOR
massaging to get it to fit...  If you're very serious about buying this from
him, he's only about an hour drive from where I live so I could check it out
for you...

Who are these people? I've been drooling over this replica Z1 kit on Ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=36475
&item=2429972549 and Eric S. thought the seller was affliated with the
showcars people. I tried to look up the name he gave me on ebay but no luck.
Can someone fill me in?
